HC Deb 19 November 1958 vol 595 c174W
Mr. Patrick Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many fatalities have occurred since the war at Fiddler's Bridge, Braidwood, Lanark-shire; and when he will cause safety improvements to be made either on the bridge itself or the approaches to it.

Mr. Maclay

Since 1st January, 1949, the earliest date from which records are available, there has been one fatal injury at this bridge. Tenders for the construction of a new bridge have been obtained and are at present under consideration.
